Illinois State has given me the tools to pave my own way in the international corporate world. It's great to finally apply the classroom learning to first hand job experiences that let you connect to diverse clients. I am grateful that the experiences I had in the IB program have given me the opportunity to pursue my passion in a multinational company.
